Description
This was done for my Digital Illustration class. We had to do a triptych about a creature of our choosing, and I chose mice becuase I'm working on a project (you'll see!) that involves getting to know how to draw mice more than I've ever done before! It started as a really quick sketch assignment, and then I decided that i was enjoying it. So really, it's just some experiments with some new techniques in photoshop and practice with color. I did this all really quickly, but it made me happy, hopefully it will make you happy too!
Brush Pen, Croquil, and Photoshop!

What a sweet little mouse! I feel there is a story behind this lovely colourful piece, but for now I'll simply enjoy the feeling of knowing which image I will look at every time I need to brighten my day. Beautiful work!

Somehow this moved me. It remains me about the animal fantasy books I used to read when I was younger.
The colors are so, so beautiful and very different on each of them. I could almost taste the story...

I favorited this piece ages ago, yet I never commented. I abousoloutely love this drawing, the colours are so vivid, and the details are great. This reminds me of a book my aunt bought me but I never read, about a mouse who tries to find his way home. I also really like the texture of this piece. Great job!

I love that perspective in the first panel. Even though it's a mouse, you are good at conveying its expressions. Very nice.

I really like how your mouse has such a human quality to it, but at the same time reads distinctly as a mouse. Very tricky to do.
I like the new stlye too. It looks kind of French.

You add really nice textures in your line art. The aging in the sky is a very nice touch. Great contrast, as well.

The mouse is adorable! Especially in the second frame. I really like the lighting and setting of the third though.
Very nice work

Hahaha... not used to seeing such cute stuff from you, Nick. You must be hanging out with Lia and Fabi too much!
Seriously though, this is a great departure from the normal tone of your work (not that I'm encouraging you to stop all of your kick-ass epic stuff), and I love the use of the colored linework on the mouse.
